How Rasmus Hojlund will improve Manchester United after £72m fee agreed for Atalanta striker
01.08.2023 - 05:03 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erik ten Hag looks set to land his third major signing of the summer this week after Manchester United agreed a fee for Rasmus Hojlund on Saturday.
United will pay an initial £64m for Hojlund with another £8m set aside for performance and success-related add-ons. The club had initially set a maximum price of £60m for the Danish international, but with less than two weeks until the Premier League season kicks off, they bit the bullet and caved to Atalanta's demands.
Ten Hag had made the 20-year-old his priority striker target part way through the summer, moving away from Harry Kane amid an acceptance that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy would not come to the table. Football director John Murtough has been in extensive talks with Atalanta for weeks and while other options were mooted, one always stood out.

The 20-year-old scored 10 goals in 34 appearances for Atalanta last season, which averages out at 0.47 goals per game or a goal every 190 minutes of football. On that front, the improvement on Weghorst is massive with the Burnley loanee netting two goals in 1,678 minutes, equal to a goal every 839 minutes or 9.3
